While relieving and sailor at 3:30 am. We were looking at a full moon. We noticed this very bright star that appeared to be aout 6" from the moon. This very whites blue light all of a sudden started jumping around as though it was one of those little black water bugs that you see in streams. This thing finally just when up and out of site. We never told any one about this because of what we would encounter from our superiors.

Looked like a very bright star. Could make 90 and 180 Degree turns. Looked as thought it was jumping around the moon. We heard no noise. It would leave a trail like a sprinkler that you light on the 4th of July. Never seen ant thing like this ever again. I trully believe this was a UFO>
